I would just go to continental.com and plug in some international destinations you may consider going to get a sense of award availability. From the U.S., Europe is 50K/67.5K in biz/first, and SE Asia is 60K/70K biz/first. Cheap award availability is pretty good from U.S. hubs to international destinations. The domestic trip to get to the hub is usually where the award availability is lacking. Good luck!
